OH, Hedgie...you are correct...was thinking our visit w/ Hidey was when he was 11 weeks old...it was when he was 10 weeks old....so Hidey has been flying for 2 weeks now.
We should be seeing Hidey for a couple of more weeks....but the nest visits will diminish in frequency.
GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE... I've been mowing grass before it gets too hot...already too hot. Jo, that is an excellent idea, to take BOB out to dinner. May I suggest the best meal that they have at the RUM RUNNER? And be sure to ask for Rumplestiltskin as the waiter;)!
Bob, I sent Lisa the link to you contest winners' page for the Black Water site and here is her reply.... I'm at NCTC in a class right now, but I'll post it later this evening. Thanks!
Finished moving books, etc., and students have gone home for the day, so I know they're not testing now, so I am just checking in briefly. I thought I heard Hidey a minute ago.
Hello to Jo if you're still here and to anyone else who's on right now.
I think I am hearing something. Ducks? I am sitting near the air condidioner and it is hard to hear anything except the blowers.
Unspeakably tragic. Thank you Jo, for the link. Prayers for all the family, and the police and emergency responders ....they tried so very hard, more to be revealed on just how it all ended.
Going to fold some of Monday's Laundry - Wash day was always a Monday when I was a kid - a long time ago. As long as it wasn't raining that you couldn't hang out the clothes on the line! Thank goodness for automation but then I wouldn't have those memories of the old wringer washers and wooden clothes pins! lol
Oh Jo I remember the wringer washer..as a kid my hair was down to my butt. Mom walked away from washer. I wanted to help, so I put some clothes through the wringer. Problem being my hair was with the clothes. Thank goodness Mom heard me screaming. Got me out of that fix.
If I remember right the blue rinse water had something to do with the "whites".
Thanks Jo we are ok here in house. Outside he has always hired a man to mow. Inside not that much and on days I can't do. God just closes his eyes lol So I figure everyone else can do lol
That's what I get, make myself do work around the house and missed the drama! Nice to see our feathered friend/s. Glad to see Hidey has learned to talon and drag his food - his Mother taught him well..
Best wishes for a Great Evening, folks. I'm going to find a child to hug.
I was watching the OK eaglet - thinking that he sure looked warm. Checked down below the cam pic and the temp is 92° and feels like 100° Now that is HOT even for a Bird sitting over the water with no shade whatsoever!
Well, I got a picture today of the flicker sticking its head out of the hole in the tree today. My computer won't read the card so I will take it out Sissy's in a little while. They are not having to fight for their nest anymore! YEAH!
For those of you who have never seen Jo's Great Grandchildren...I have posted photos of them on my SMILES:):). They are BEAUTIFUL children, not an ugly one in the bunch! But then, what else could we expect for MEMA JO'S genes;)
Still waiting to hear from the travelers....supposed to call when they get to Martinsburg...still up in air whether they are going to come here after checking in at The Woods or whether I'm going there. Trying to chill, but excited...snoozed a little off and on late afternoon. Deb, grass probably too wet to mow tonight anyway! Relax, girlfriend! It will be there tomorrow....and don't think you would need a baler yet, LOL!
I remember reading in somewhere comments. About Lolly's grandson going to a school and someone else on here might have a grandson going to same school. Maybe best of friends. What ever happened in that situation?
I am chillin' tonight...couldn't get to sleep last night...between accidently finding Lonesome Dove on and that singing cardinal that Megan sent over here...
Hi all! Another day and OK did not fledge. Looks like OK is settling in for the night. Adult on the bar. Did I tell you....the other night one of our guests told us about seeing a bald eagle near his place. He said when he first saw it he thought a hawk or buzzard was carrying a styrafoam cup. Then he realized it was a white head of a bald eagle!
We had a great day! However, it was very hot! Dinosaur World was really neat. Then we went to Dinosaur Valley State Park. Ate lunch in the van with the AC on. Then went down to the river to see the tracks, but it was just way too hot to really enjoy it. River was way down so crossing was easy. You cross the river on rocks to see the tracks.
Came home and the boys played on the slip and slide and in the little pool we have for them. They really have fun on the slip and slide!
These guys won't be little long. I am enjoying them being little, or should I say "young"? Their dad is 6'6" and mom is 5'll". Grandmommy is 5' 9". LOL They are on their way to be long tall dudes. Already are for their ages!
Lolly, tall is good, but my Grandson has to bend over to hug me now and I can't seem to get used to that. It was just yesterday that I would pick him up to kiss and hug him:(
Enjoy them while you can, Lolly. They grow up so quickly. I am so pleased that Dustin, at 15, still comes to visit. When he gets his drivers license, it will be SEE YA GRANDMA!
Okay, mom and sis are near...I'm going to hotel. BBL.....maybe....depends on how late I stay there...probably not very late because I know they are tired. Bye-e-e-e.
Time for me to go throw kids into tubs. Joseph will go shower in our bathroom, Jacob will take a bubble bath and then to bed. I am ready to put my feet up. Will be back after baths, story and bedtime. ☺
What a shame, it's a nice night, windows all open, and one of my rotten neighbors is burning something that smells like plastic...wish I could figure out which neighbor it was.
OK eaglet looks worn out! The heat of the day has gotten to him. It is only 89° now with some wind at 13 mph. Interesting fact concerning the nest: I have noticed Scissor-tailed Flycatchers in the vicinity of the nest. As aerial insectivores, they perch on or below the nest and watch for flying insects to capture in flight. So, we have the state bird of Oklahoma and our national symbol together at once!
Oops! You did sooooooo good with the photos, Wanda! They are something else-those great grandkids! I left you a comment which said now I will get the 12 grandchildren pics for you! lol I really need to start a personal blog! Thank You Wanda!
I was looking at Wild Watch Streaming Cam on the Barn Owls - the info on them is Update June 2009 The barn owls second brood is four young with two distinct age groups. The older two birds are approximately 1 month old while the second group is about 1 week old. That is a very odd combination...
I'll say! What a treat to see her finally after several days of empty nest viewing. Seems I always pop in when Hidey is popped out. Probably out of the nest more than in these days :(

We should be seeing Hidey for a couple of more weeks....but the nest visits will diminish in frequency.
Congrats, Bob!
YEAH BOB!!!!! You are always a winner with us!
Thanks for the new thread, Steve.
OK eaglet was getting bored in that nest - flew to the Upper Bar for a better view. Hope he stays put until Lolly gets home.
GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE...
I've been mowing grass before it gets too hot...already too hot.
Jo, that is an excellent idea, to take BOB out to dinner. May I suggest the best meal that they have at the RUM RUNNER? And be sure to ask for Rumplestiltskin as the waiter;)!
Thanks for new thread, Steve.
Congrats, again, Bob!!! Official results are good cause now everyone knows what we knew!!!!
Nobody can know everything you guys know. ☺
Don't we as a group have fantastic
inside jokes that mean so much to us!
You're right Bob - just remember that YOU are a part of us! Love Ya!
Bob, I sent Lisa the link to you contest winners' page for the Black Water site and here is her reply....
I'm at NCTC in a class right now, but I'll post it later this evening. Thanks!
I hope Lisa is going to do a nest visit.
Is this Lisa's first visit to NCTC? Probably NOT! Hope Hidey blesses her with an appearance!
Hi,
Finished moving books, etc., and students have gone home for the day, so I know they're not testing now, so I am just checking in briefly. I thought I heard Hidey a minute ago.
Hello to Jo if you're still here and to anyone else who's on right now.
I think I am hearing something. Ducks? I am sitting near the air condidioner and it is hard to hear anything except the blowers.
Hello, Hedgie.
and Bob. Congratulations, Bob.
Booyah...Bob:)
Hi Shirley - you may be hearing the geese - plenty of them on the NCTC grounds.
Lisa was in a class - told that had we known she was there we could have met her for a lunch visit in the cafe!
Put your feet up Shirley and take a panda nap. Clearing a classroom is WORK! Do you by any chance put up bulletin boards for the new year?
Lynn you have mail.
family left this a.m., next guests come in Saturday:)
panda nap sounds good:)
Lunch time here, so I am home for a bit. The rain has stopped for now, sure hope it is done.
Hi Deb, glad you are back home
Me, too, Helen!
Congrats, Bob, your pictures deserve the recognition you received!
Jo, no bulletin board work today! I am still trying to find out where my room will be next year. I may find out tomorrow, or I may find out in August.
I will be ready for a panda nap. A surprising amount of teaching involves physical labor.
It looks peaceful in OK.
Hostage situation is over....but don't know how it ended. Will check some sites and see if anything revealed yet to media.
Neighbors report hearing 8 gunshots and an ambulance rushed by Ch. 25 news crew....that's all it says.
That does not sound good, Hedgie.
Family members heard shouting "she's dead". Not the outcome hoped for, needless to say. Prayers for her, her child and the rest of her family.
Back to work for me, bbl.
Mema, could you repost that link, please, did not open. I don't really want to read this. Thanks
The water level at the OK site looks to be getting higher!
Will do! I sure did something incorrectly.
Herald Mail
Sent you an email Margy.
Wanda you also have emails that you wanted me to send.
BBILW
Police have confirmed thatshe is dead. He is in custody.
Unspeakably tragic. Thank you Jo, for the link. Prayers for all the family, and the police and emergency responders ....they tried so very hard, more to be revealed on just how it all ended.
I'll be watching for the emal, Jo - lately they have been coming in hours after they were sent :(
But the Magic of Mema, came through right away. Thank you.
xo So sad....so very sad. Prayers for the gunman as well.
I am ready. They were in Parkersburg 30min. ago. Going Rt. 50 it will probably be close to 9 before they get in....going to take a NAP!!
BBL.
All I can say is Lisa better come back with some pics! :):)
Sorry to hear about the tragic outcome in Martinsburg.
The fish at BWE is gone...
Moved cam in at OK....
Going to fold some of Monday's Laundry - Wash day was always a Monday when I was a kid - a long time ago. As long as it wasn't raining that you couldn't hang out the clothes on the line! Thank goodness for automation but then I wouldn't have those memories of the old wringer washers and wooden clothes pins! lol
BBILW
You can actually see the BWO chick clearly at times today, and right now is one of those times.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Rainy tonight at FINNEY'S NEST.
What!!! Bob Quinn won the CBF photo contest?? I had no idea... Congratulations again, Bob! I love that lighthouse picture.
Good afternoon ALL in Eagleland.
Bells, ribbon, bows, whistles, applause, standing ovation, and congratulations to our BOB QUINN
Jin I do see the chick at BWO. Sorry we lost the other 2. :(
Prayers for those friends and family members and police and rescue. In the terrible situation
in the development off Rt. 9.
Good to see you on here Dana. How are you and Ed??
G☺☺D to see friends on here today, especially our MIA's Megan and Dana !
Congratulations Bob ! I really enjoyed your comments from a little while ago!
I loved having a clothesline and hanging clothes outdoors....now I have a dryer, but sure miss the fragrance of sunshine on my clothes!
Ringer washer...never had the privilege :)
Megan My snapdragons are taking off ! Never had such beautiful flowers here at the apartment, ever ! ☺ (except the bouquets in vases, of course )
Thank you ALL for the prayers please continue them ty.
We are hanging in there with the Lord surrounding us. More test and results to come.
Oxygen man just left here again. They have been the best. We have had Gateway since 2002.
I've been in the garden, sorry, forgot to check in....
Yes, Dana, how is ED?
Glad to hear it, Margy:) snaps are one of my favorites, too.
Oh Jo I remember the wringer washer..as a kid my hair was down to my butt. Mom walked away from washer. I wanted to help, so I put some clothes through the wringer. Problem being my hair was with the clothes. Thank goodness Mom heard me screaming. Got me out of that fix.
Dana Do you remember the rinse water that was blue? I forget what that was for!
I have been thinking of you and Ed constantly, gal. Hope you can get some help there in the house and with the things you need to do. Holler!
blue rinse water was for whiter whites....RINSO
If I remember right the blue rinse water had something to do with the "whites".
Thanks Jo we are ok here in house. Outside he has always hired a man to mow. Inside not that much and on days I can't do. God just closes his eyes lol So I figure everyone else can do lol
YEAH BOB!!!!! You are always a winner with us!
Parent just arrived with a big fish. I think I hear Hidey!
That's good to hear, Dana. But you know some of us are close enough to help if needed!
RINSO BLUE! Thanks Mits & Dana!
Now that you told me I remember!
I was thinking just the White clothes.
Come on Hidey!
Din Din is here.......
GET OFF ME KID!
ROFLMBO
And the turd just landed spack dab on top of Belle.
DRAMA QUEEN!
It's all Yours!
Hi Hidey it has been awhile since I seen you. Dragging fish with talcon lol
AND THE ANSWER IS
HIDEY IN THE NEST WITH A FISH!
There goes Hidey
Dragging the catch of the day
Sure looks like a catfish to me...
That's a nice fish!
Whatcha wanna bet Hidey will still want a bedtime snack...
I think she knows we can't see very well under that smudge
That's what I get, make myself do work around the house and missed the drama! Nice to see our feathered friend/s.
Glad to see Hidey has learned to talon and drag his food - his Mother taught him well..
Best wishes for a Great Evening, folks. I'm going to find a child to hug.
xox Prayers for Wellness, Comfort, and Safety....
Oh yes Paula - this is an early dinner
Come 7:30 or so Hidey will want her bedtime snack!
Finney's nest just brought in a orange fish. Feeding chicks.
I was watching the OK eaglet - thinking that he sure looked warm.
Checked down below the cam pic and the temp is 92° and feels like 100°
Now that is HOT even for a Bird sitting over the water with no shade whatsoever!
Well, I got a picture today of the flicker sticking its head out of the hole in the tree today. My computer won't read the card so I will take it out Sissy's in a little while. They are not having to fight for their nest anymore! YEAH!
Hidey is really ripping into that fish!
I hope you are still Margy. The drama is ongoing with this one!
Buphals is laying over here on the bed trying to figure out what that noise is! I told him it was just our little Hidey! :)
I see 2 chicks head and maybe a smaller head??
What a "screamer"!!! That eaglet doesn't need any oxygen....has good lungs lol
Was that really Hidey making all that noise? What in the world?
She is a drama queen, I tell ya!
or He is a Drama King, whichever! :)
I think "SHE" is. lol
I am going to dream something up for our dinner. It is really in the crock pot and just about ready.
BBL
I heard that squealing too!
Adult in nest helping to eat that large fish with Hidey
Back to fixing dinner........
Do we need to organize a Pity Party ???
xoxo TTFN xoxo
I think that is exactly what we need to do. Can we have it at the barn?
Isn't the nesting season (where it is marked off around the sycamore tree) over July 4?
Well, now, that was the longest piece of spaghetti I have ever seen. Went from one side of the nest to the other. YUCK!
Oh, wow, I got wax!
Going to go to the mailbox and then fix dinner bbl
Way to go Wax Queen
She was just doing that scratching her butt thing on the nest again. Did anyone else see it?
Eagle-Eyed Sharon and Hidey, the Queens of Wax and Drama!
Off to a bakery to order cake for Sunday's homecoming and Father's day..
BBL
Nope, Sharon, have not seen the eaglet butt scratching thingy.
Well, Paula, I was hoping you were recording it so everybody could see it! :)
I am home from work and should be mowing. My grass is really long, but it will just have to wait for tomorrow.
Hidey was making a little noise, but is quiet now. Off to feed the dogs and figure out what I am going to eat.
For those of you who have never seen Jo's Great Grandchildren...I have posted photos of them on my SMILES:):). They are BEAUTIFUL children, not an ugly one in the bunch! But then, what else could we expect for MEMA JO'S genes;)
Goodness, we had a naked snowman yesterday. Now we nave butt-scratching eagles. Wha nest?
I mean, what next? I am still half asleep. This is my naptime.
Really, I am just drinking mint-flavored tea. Nothing stronger.
Still waiting to hear from the travelers....supposed to call when they get to Martinsburg...still up in air whether they are going to come here after checking in at The Woods or whether I'm going there.
Trying to chill, but excited...snoozed a little off and on late afternoon.
Deb, grass probably too wet to mow tonight anyway! Relax, girlfriend! It will be there tomorrow....and don't think you would need a baler yet, LOL!
I remember reading in somewhere comments. About Lolly's grandson going to a school and someone else on here might have a grandson going to same school. Maybe best of friends. What ever happened in that situation?
Nice photos you put up, Wanda. Jo's little ones are precious, just like she is!
Wanda, Dana, Hedgie, Sharon and Jo--Good evening. I have been napping and reading again.
I see that the OK eaglet is exercising its wings.
It looks like that green barber pole thingy goes one direction sometimes and the other way other times. Wonder why.
Must be some strong mint, Shirley!
Dana - they don't have an answer yet!
I am chillin' tonight...couldn't get to sleep last night...between accidently finding Lonesome Dove on and that singing cardinal that Megan sent over here...
Dana, Andrea still hasn't heard back from her niece...she was away for the weekend, had to work today, and Andrea has class this evening....MTBR!
Regular grocery-store tea bags, but it helps to have the lights on so I can see the keyboard. Got darker in here while I was napping.
MTBR? I have figured out most of the other ones, but don't know what that means.
Hi all! Another day and OK did not fledge. Looks like OK is settling in for the night. Adult on the bar. Did I tell you....the other night one of our guests told us about seeing a bald eagle near his place. He said when he first saw it he thought a hawk or buzzard was carrying a styrafoam cup. Then he realized it was a white head of a bald eagle!
Thanks for the info. on that. I try to keep up with comments. If not then I'll have to catch up when can.
Yes, I have been following the preschool story, too. Guess we have to wait a little longer.
We had a great day! However, it was very hot! Dinosaur World was really neat. Then we went to Dinosaur Valley State Park. Ate lunch in the van with the AC on. Then went down to the river to see the tracks, but it was just way too hot to really enjoy it. River was way down so crossing was easy. You cross the river on rocks to see the tracks.
Came home and the boys played on the slip and slide and in the little pool we have for them. They really have fun on the slip and slide!
I've been watching the OK eaglet, too. It really looks larger than the parent tonight.
Shirley maybe you need a LONG ISLAND ICED TEA...It'll clear your head;)
Hi, Lolly. Those grandchildren sound precious.
Wanda, do you really think so?
Oh, they are precious! We are enjoying them so much!
MTBR = More To Be Revealed
Tee Hee...No, Shirley! Has too many liquors in it. Probably give you an instant headache:)
Thanks, Paula.
These guys won't be little long. I am enjoying them being little, or should I say "young"? Their dad is 6'6" and mom is 5'll". Grandmommy is 5' 9". LOL They are on their way to be long tall dudes. Already are for their ages!
Probably put me to sleep for the rest of the night.
That may not be so bad, Shirley...to go to sleep for the rest of the night. Nothing good on TV.
Yeah, I'm watching CNN and they're talking about Palin and Letterman.
Lolly, tall is good, but my Grandson has to bend over to hug me now and I can't seem to get used to that. It was just yesterday that I would pick him up to kiss and hug him:(
Deep analysis on the subject.
Enjoy them while you can, Lolly. They grow up so quickly. I am so pleased that Dustin, at 15, still comes to visit. When he gets his drivers license, it will be SEE YA GRANDMA!
American Idol has started auditions again.
I hear ya Wanda...the kids are taller than I am...the grandkids shorter...I am enjoying picking them up and giving them hugs!!
Okay, mom and sis are near...I'm going to hotel. BBL.....maybe....depends on how late I stay there...probably not very late because I know they are tired.
Bye-e-e-e.
Isn't it great to be able to enjoy the grandchildren? I do enjoy mine, and am so fortunate that he is here in town.
Bye, Hedgie.
OK, I'll have a long island ice tea, please. And Paula, feel free to keep the singing cardinal:)
Have fun, Lynn!
Hello, Floralgirl.
Hello:)
Time for me to go throw kids into tubs. Joseph will go shower in our bathroom, Jacob will take a bubble bath and then to bed. I am ready to put my feet up. Will be back after baths, story and bedtime. ☺
Have fun, Hedgie!
The OK eaglet is sinking deeper and deeper into the nest.
What a shame, it's a nice night, windows all open, and one of my rotten neighbors is burning something that smells like plastic...wish I could figure out which neighbor it was.
Follow your nose, Megan!
Lisa has the link to Bob's Winnings on her eagle page!
My nose is burning.....
OK eaglet looks worn out!
The heat of the day has gotten to him.
It is only 89° now with some wind at
13 mph.
Interesting fact concerning the nest:
I have noticed Scissor-tailed Flycatchers in the vicinity
of the nest. As aerial insectivores, they perch on or below the nest and watch for flying insects to
capture in flight. So, we have the state bird of Oklahoma and our national symbol together at once!
Jo, check out your G-Grandchildren on SMILES:):) They are adorable!
Oops! You did sooooooo good with the photos, Wanda! They are something else-those great grandkids! I left you a comment which said now I will get the 12 grandchildren pics for you! lol
I really need to start a personal blog!
Thank You Wanda!
I was looking at Wild Watch Streaming Cam on the Barn Owls - the info on them is Update June 2009
The barn owls second brood is four young with two distinct age groups. The older two birds are approximately 1 month old while the second group is about 1 week old.
That is a very odd combination...
It would be my pleasure, Jo, to put your 12 Grandchildren on the blog. BRING EM ON!
Now, question...are Anthony, Joseph, Sophia and Donavon siblings?
OK eaglet got refreshed. Now up and flapping.
Aw, Jo's g-grandkids are adorable:)
Long day, I'm outa here, night all
Yes Wanda - The Hedgesville Mastrangelo's are Joseph,Anthony,Sophia & Donavon.
Germany gals are Samantha & Elizabeth
Frederick gal is Alexis
OK eaglet is being guarded by an adult now. Looks as though he settled down.
Spidey and the bugs are at our nest!
Going to catch a 10:00 TV show
Be back to say good night
BBILW
Good night, everyone.
nighty night everyone:)
Gnite, all!
Hugs to all ♥
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
I am headed to bed to read for awhile, night everyone.
Good night all!
Sweet dreams!
Looks like I may be the one to turn off the lights... so be it <:+)
Good Night All
Prayers for everyone's needs being said
(((hugs))) ♥
And I'll chime in with my goodnight, too! Talk to you all tomorrow. Had a nice short visit. Everyone is TIRED!
Peace and prayers.
It's "tomorrow" which means it's time for:
Happy Birthday, Genie !
Hope it is your Best One Ever!
xoxoxo ☺ ♥
Too little Hidey, too much Spidey tonight!
** Good Night **

Have a good Tuesday.
C(°?°)3
Jim
Good morning my fine friends of fowl and fur!!
HI Sissy -
Been watching since 3:30 and I haven't seen or heard from our angel eaglet, prescious Hidey.
Good morning Lori. I know, I been here since 4:30 and haven't seen a feather one from Hidey.
Watching a turtle at Pete's Pond but there is not alot to watch with that! :))
I hear Hidey. She is somewhere close by!
Sounds like Hidey is dancing on the cam this morning but still no visual on her.
There she is!! In all her glory!! What a beautiful site this morning!!
I'll say! What a treat to see her finally after several days of empty nest viewing. Seems I always pop in when Hidey is popped out. Probably out of the nest more than in these days :(
She is plundering around for nestovers this morning!
YEAH! Hidey's back!!! What a wonderful site at any time, but it sure gets a morning off to a great start.
Hidey, you're like a prayer.
I think she is getting ready to leave again!
Nope, changed her mind!
Good morning Sissy and Carol (:
Good morning ALL!
Well'I finally got to see Hidey this morning,first time in a while
for me.
Sounds like He/She is trying to place a breakfast order!
Now doing some arobics
And OFF into the wild blue yonder!!
And, Hidey's gone again...
hopefully for just a short while.
Time for me to head to work,ya'll
have fun watching today
